It's early days in the Allsvenskan and both Norrköping and AIK are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
It should be mentioned that AIK play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter? Recent statistics for AIK on artifical turf are 8 victories, 6 draws and 3 defeats from 17 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 29-19. You can compare this with overall results below.
